There are some perfectionists who when they rebuild a motor, clean each and every part with acetone/carb cleaner/gun cleaner to like new condition, before reassembly with anti-seize lubricant. Might be a touch of OCD, but their products sing like an opera diva and tend to run for eternity when they are done.
I have seen a 1920s Ford at the dealership sitting in the work bay with the hood removed, while the guys – the REAL mechanics – were working on the engine.

Agreed, I actively watch for those, most often it’s the owners not the machines that are the tip-off of something good. OCD runs deep in my family; it can cause some issues but is also very good in many ways. .son’s custom jewelry is a shing example, my handling of firearms is another.
And a meticulous rebuild requires the steps you mention for the carb but unless it is a motor rebuild you sure as hell don’t have to yank it! Sure is some pretty art though…the machine too. 😉

…but occasionally you run into some extremely stupid design ideas.. like sticking the starter motor on a Northstar V8 nestled between the last cylinders under the intake manifold.

Could be the finishing touches of a full overhaul!
Each time I heard someone braying about how we need a “new normal” because the “old normal” wasn’t working for everyone, I point out how it worked well for those who worked… and how little sense it makes to cater to those who don’t work.
My guess is that’s a a Chevy 350 she’s working on…. the Chrysler small block motors had the distributors in the back and there big block motors had the distributors up but leaned over at at angle.
And it is a Ford truck of course; Chev small blocks rule the hot rod world but I’m thinking the purist aspect of Red’s OCD affliction that TT mentioned upthread would never allow that swap.
Distributor is in front. But. Look at the size compared to Sam.
That is one huge block.
Ran Shelby 289, but for big blocks, 460. That one looks even bigger.

Didn’t that engine used to have a blower? I’m sure it needed yank’n and some sort of job too. Zed might even jump in to help. 😉
Pamela made a comment in yesterday’s thread that has come back up elsewhere, the DNC/PLD’s plans to put Deplorables into Mandatory Reeducation Fun Camps.
It has been pointed out that the only side to have serious discussions about opening such camps, are the DNC/PLD. The number of times they’ve been caught discussing the idea is more than worrisome at this point…
Well, obviously. They can’t even think in such terms. That’s why McCarthyism was such a hopeless cause: laughably small-minded. Does it even make sense to… spy on “Airstrip 2” for “Airstrip 3”? Seriously?
The goal was spelled out long ago: «Planetary Regime—sort of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment» (per genosse Holdren, in a book back in 1977). The methods are also not secret, for example: «these directives emanate and did emanate from the White House […] the substance of which is that we shall use our grant-making power so to alter life in the United States that it can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union» (per Mr. Gaither).
Do you think they wanted something substantially different, say, in late XIX century?
I find stunning that people read all this, yet then somehow still delude themselves enough to try and shoehorn it in the context of professional wrestling, “elections” of American pseudoparties or some other TV show for big children.
All who could read could find various government groups forging the prisons of order and control in available publications.
It is like they did a series of planning charettes for the world with the results already set in place. Just like your local and state and federal land and city planners do, complete down to the placed paid participants wh will study and plan and finally come to the conclusions and results they were supposed to do.
Never give up. Never surrender.
There are still more of the good or not so bad people than the bad guys.
Ideas rule. That is what the enemies hate.
Cultures make many and strength..And continuity.
Ah bin a reeding dis stuff since I was a hile dat wasn’t supposed to be old enough to read. There was lots of good quality literature about, be it reasonable or not.
Missed it. Watched the Classic, Them! on TCM. Juust didn’t feel like watching Pelosi and Harris masturbating over every lying word out of Biden’s mouth…

“Combination” Wrench
Straight or offset?
The case for civil war, is what that is.
Damn, she yanked the motor for a carb job?

Thinking of DildoCrats as not American is the “new normal” I can get behind.

Demmunists are definitely not Americans. They prove it hourly.
Shout out to Rose McGowan today.
I wonder who managed to “red pill” McGowan and how?
If we could learn/understand this, we could bottle it and distribute widely… Hell, maybe we could crop-dust it over leftist cities!!

Ford’s have the distributor up front, Chevy’s in the rear.
But yeah, enemies domestic. Getting to be time to raise the Black Flag.

She’s right Dems are insisting.

Ain’t gonna be no Deplorables put in no damn camps by D’s & P’s or their puppet masters or anybody else…at that point it is kill or be killed.
TIME’S UP! CRA NOW!
HEY! I resemble that remark the DemoMarx are making. Demomarxists.
Why waste resources on ‘camps’ when trenches are free ?
They may need some converted slave labor.
The “new normal” is Abby Normal.
Liberalism is a mental disorder …

Standard Democratic BS from the office holder tonight.
Awesome response from Rep Tim Scott!
Sorry, Senator Tim Scott.
